N-Cyclopentadienyl complexes

Nickel(n) cyclopentadienyl complexes [(ri -C5Ph5)Ni(S2CNMe2)] (1464) and [(T] -C5Me5)Ni(S2CNEt2)] (1547) have been prepared, the latter from an unusual reaction between [(T] -C5Me5)Ni(CO)] and Te(S2CNEt2)2 (Eq. 146) (1547).

Derivatization of some mono(cyclopentadienyl) complexes to yield new monosubstituted species can often be accomplished by metathetical exchange (Equation (26)) or protonation reaction.295 Protonolysis of (CsPr 4H)Ca[N(SiMe3)2](THF) with several terminal alkynes HC CR in either toluene or hexanes produces the... 

The rhodium cyclopentadienyl complex [T75-C5(CH3)5RhCl2]2, in the presence of base at 50 atm H2, also effects stereoselective catalytic hydrogenation of benzenes. Substrates with unprotected —OH or —C02H groups were not effectively hydrogenated, but aryl ethers, esters, and ketones and N,iV -dimethylaniline were all reduced, some-...

Murahashi and Naota studied the reaction mechanism of cyclopentadienyl ruthenium enolate complex-catalyzed aldol and Michael addition reactions [80-82]. This mechanistic study revealed that the cone angle of the tertiary phosphine ligands largely affects the stability of C- and N-bound complexes [80, 82], Thus, ligation of bulky phosphine ligand would favor the N -bound complexes [80]... 

The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most fundamental means of preparing cyclic compounds. Since discovery of the accelerating effect of Lewis acids on the Diels-Alder reaction of a,)3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds [341-344], its broad and fine application under mild reaction conditions has been amplified. Equations (140) [341] and (141) [345], respectively, illustrate typical dramatic effects from an early reaction and from one reported more recently. Lewis acid-promoted Diels-Alder reactions have been reviewed [7,8,346-353]. In addition to the acceleration of the reaction, other important feature is its alteration of chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivity this will be discussed below. The titanium compounds used in Diels-Alder reaction are titanium halides (TiX4), alkoxides (Ti(OR)4), or their mixed salts (TiX (OR)4 n = 1-3). A cyclopentadienyl complex such as Cp2Ti(OTf)2 is also documented as a very effective promoter of a Diels-Alder reaction [354], In addition to these titanium salts, a few compounds such as those in Eq. (142) [355] have recently been reported to effect the Diels-Alder reaction. The third, [(/-PrO)2Ti(bpy)(OTf)(i-PrOH)] (OTf), was estimated to be a more active catalyst than Cp2Ti(OTf)2.
